Hi John:
I am brand new to growing pumpkins and have nothing to trade, but would like some of the long gourd seeds and pumpkin seeds.
Let me know how I can get a few of each.
Thanks,

List,
I'm writing to talk a possible seed trade.
Two seasons ago I got a few melon seeds (Blanton 232).
Year one I got a 137
pounder. This year I got a 143 pounder. I also planted
two seasons
ago an Edwards 228 that produced a 157 pounder which
was crossed with
the 232.
The 157 pounder grew 5 melons averaging 129 pounds,
largest was my
daughter's 164 pounder which won the Anamosa contest.
My 146.5 placed
third.
I don't know if anyone is interested in any of my
watermelon seed but
maybe my 930 pound pumpkin (from a 1230 Daletas x self)
could interest
someone (third at Anamosa).
I also grew long guords with my bests from my 91 incher
(a 95"Carlson
offspring) this year that grew 7 over 84 inches. Best
was 89.5 inches
(was not entered because of seepage at end, hairline
crack)with two
86"ers entered (third place at Anamosa).
If you are interested in a trade let me know.
Thank-you.
John "Cornhusk" Barlow
